Hello world, this is SENSY.

We launched the IC for our new‑release Supernova 60% two months ago, which drew plenty of discussion and favourable feedback from enthusiasts.

Ahead of the ZFX and Wuque exhibitions in Guangdong, we have finished all prototype tests for the keyboard. The unit was displayed at the shows and has now been sent out for reviewer sampling.

Therefore, we are releasing the final GB information here.

Adjustment Details

The colour has been revised based on actual prototype‑testing and IC feedback. The AEVUM has been switched from anodizing to coating, and the AQUA is removed and replaced with RELIQUIAE.

We optimized the configuration of weights and badges based on the actual supply chain situation. We have removed options that severely delayed progress, including polished SS badges and weights, as well as the underperforming blasted SS stepped weights. Multiple newly-developed patina weights and new-process badgess are now available as alternatives.

Added 4mm PC and PEEK plate material options.

Physical Display

For this round, we use mass‑production‑grade units for reviewer samples. The GB will launch worldwide simultaneously. Review units for international content creators are being dispatched in batches. We will post real‑time updates in the thread once shipments go out. Stay tuned.

PCB Support

Wired, Vial‑compatible.

The soldered and hotswap MX‑compatible PCBs share identical layout support.

We would also like to thank Metakeebs for providing the EC PCB solution for this project.


SonoShell Structure

We still adopt the Top Mount with blocks and a five‑point positioning setup with three upper anchor points and two lower ones. This is our favourite point layout for compact‑size keyboards so far.

Three hardness grades of blocks will be offered for users to pick their preferred typing feel.

Based on real‑world usage feedback, blocks will no longer be compatible with the PC top‑case.

The overall framework inherits the proven structure used for the Smoke, which remains the signature highlight of our Legacy series.

After multiple rounds of prototype tests, we settled on PEI for the middle frame. It outperforms metal frames on vibration dampening and strikes a well‑balanced compromise of performance, appearance and cost compared with other plastic frames.

The PEI mid frame, top case and internal stack form the standalone SonoShell acoustic cavity. Its merits have been fully explained during the interest‑check phase. The isolated chamber enables fine‑tuned, fuller‑bodied sound tuning and avoids short‑circuit risks brought by internal padding materials.




Colors

Here is an explanation of the colour‑selection rules for this release:

There are nine fixed colour combinations for the top and bottom cases. A PC top case is available as an optional accessory for every shell colourway.

The PC top case is incompatible with the buffer blocks.

Each colourway comes with two weight finishes, milled and patina. The milled tone and patina effect are fixed for each variant.
